Iman Shumpert was a teammate of LeBron James on the Cleveland Cavaliers from 2015 to 2018, competing in the NBA Finals in each of the three seasons there, winning the championship in 2016. He retired from basketball a few years ago and now devotes his time to speaking on a podcast called Taking One For The Team. Recently, he discussed the rumor of seeing Stephen Curry and his former leader together, like in the 2024 Paris Olympics with Team USA.
Stephen Curry and LeBron James together
"They better not do it," said Shumpert about rumors of LeBron and Curry playing together on an NBA team. "I'm letting you know – they better not do it. We enjoyed it on Team USA, laughed together. Don't do that. It's not right. I want them to be archenemies. That's how it should be."
"That’s cheating," Shumpert added. "It's literally cheating. A pick-and-roll between LeBron and Steph. Good luck. Good luck, guys. Please, God, don't do that. It's cheating."
Kevin Durant
The 34-year-old former player reflected on the moment when Kevin Durant joined the Golden State Warriors in 2016, who had just completed a regular season with 73 wins and 9 losses. After one of the best players in the world joined them, they won back-to-back titles and missed the threepeat due to injuries.
"KD already ruined it when he went with Steph, so they couldn’t be archenemies," Shumpert commented. "That broke everyone's hearts. 'Bron, don’t do that. Don’t hurt us all. We'll all cry, and then we'll watch it, and when we see it... Maybe we'll enjoy it, I’ll enjoy that pick-and-roll between the one and the three. I’ll enjoy it a lot. But don’t do it. It's not fair."
